This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

MODERATORS
I'm an outsider, and I'm not trans, and I'm on painkillers because I have a dry socket so I'm too stupid to avoid this discussion, but I've seen this screenshot a couple of times now and I haven't seen anyone saying that it was like... a horrible injustice, who identifies as trans?
Or are there other admin abuses besides this? Because I just keep seeing this one screenshot?
I am trans, and fairly active on 196 and if all of these comments occurred on 196? Yeah, both users had it coming, even if I generally get along with both users in other contexts. On serious discussion communities I think there needs to be space for discussion and education. On 196, Spronkus shoulda told you, trans rights and shoot fascists. Or that's my opinion, this whole issue is about which moderation philosophy should be applied to 196.
Then I'm of the opinion that this whole moving thing is so they could let in their friends who were rightfully banned.
